Lined with street-food-style stalls, this wildly popular, well-established dining hall—the original and best of five locations around town—dishes up Yangtze wetlands specialities, including appetizers and soups that emphasize local vegetables rather than the usual starchy offerings; Nanjing's famous salted duck, served sliced on the bone; and steamers full of duck dumplings. Order from the picture menu (with tiny English translations) or get up and browse, pointing to what you want and giving your table number a costumed attendant.

Shelled river shrimp (wumen xiaren) are a light and delicate signature dish at this lovely restaurant, accessed via a narrow alley north of Lion's Grove Garden. The busy kitchen also pulls off a crisp rendition of the region's famous songshu guiyu (squirrel fish), scored and fried so that the white meat fans outward in chopstick-friendly mouthfuls; sweet and sour sauce completes the experience.

Beloved by locals, Nanjing's very own fast-food chain is a great place to try two regional specialties: xiaolongbao (soup-filled pork dumplings) and maoxue fensi tang (rice noodle soup with duck blood cubes). Branches are everywhere (the original is on Hunan Lu), but the nicest location is on the causeway crossing Xuanwu Lake, where you'll find tables at the water's edge.

This long-standing eatery is a well-liked spot to sample Jinan lu cai, a variation of one of the eight famous cuisines of China. The signature dish is jiu zhuan da chang (literally "nine turns intestine"), chewy braised spirals of pork chitterlings, but if that sounds extreme, try the sweet and sour fried carp, or their decent local take on roast duck with pancakes.

The wall of deer heads at the entrance to this popular restaurant is an indicator that it's a good place to sample the game dishes beloved by the Manchu people. You can try venison, wild boar, braised camel hump, deep-fried sparrow, or deer-blood curd (developed to prevent wasting the blood of the kill after a hunt and surprisingly tasty) as well as less exotic meat or vegetable dishes.
